His name was The Walrus. He was a Fool on the Hill, and he usually hung out in Strawberry Fields. Yesterday, he spent the whole evening with Penny Lane, and last week he was dating Eleanor Rigby. The congregation commitee told him to Get Back, to where you once belong. But he just replied, Naw, Naw, Naw, Na, Na, Na. He started misquoting the book of Hey Jude, and said we wanted a Revolution. But, he was was always trying to build up material for his new book, because he was a Paperback Writer.

Well, those GB some of those GB members are a little portly aren't they?
My Dr only encourages exercise in moderation, and big on calorie control. For instance, if it takes you 2 hrs to work off a piece of cake, you're better off to not have the piece of cake.

Congregation Loans
by sosoconfused inwhat i am trying to figure out is wether or not the society actually collects interest on the money they loan for kingdom hall construction.. .
for instance if we have 70k in the bank and need 90k for project and we get a loan from the borg - do they charge interest on the loan or is just the base 20k paid back over time?.
i never actually paid attention to this process, does anyone know.

Well, in a sense you maybe right. At the end of the loan, the congregation owns the KH and sells it it for Market Value. They use that equity to purchase land to upgrade to another area to rebuild another KH. The money that comes from that sale belongs to the congregation, not the society. Granted it must be used up for rebulding and use of a KH. The only way the Soc would receive those proceeds is if a resolution is passed and the funds are donated to the Soc. So, you may be right, but, possibly the congregation may keep those funds.
I have seen many KH's sold and the monetary value of the purchases were maintained in a trust fund of the congregation that it came from. It sometimes took years before that money was used to purchase another property for a KH. I am aware of some cong 's that have carried a ballance into the hundreds of thousands and the money is just sitting in their accounts.

Nugget, isn't that what the F&*^%king Banks do? They use your savings, lend you money, and charge you interest.

Will The Governing Body Tighten Control Over Rank & File Members Even If It Opens Them Up To More Lawsuits?
by frankiespeakin inwhen we look at the conti case we see the amount of control that the governing body has over the rank and file makes them open to lawsuits.
i see lots of areas where this can work against the financial and legal interest of the corporation, for example:.
1. a banning of blood transfussions enforced by disfellowshipping.

Sir82 is accurate with the change in policy regarding interest. I remember over 20 yrs ago, when the Soc charged 6% interest. That was when we had high inflation. The rate of interest was justified because the value of the money lost it's power as time continued on. Today's annual inflation rate of 2% doesn't really justify charging an interest rate.

The Americans already own the Molson Brewery, so it can't be that.
